For the unplayable version of Maestro from the Combined Class, see Maestro.

Maestro is a Cosmic Champion. Being a Cosmic Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Tech Champions, but is weak to Mystic Champions.

He is available exclusively as a Trophy Champion and can only be obtained through the Special Event The Necropolis.

Bio[]

With the power of the Hulk, and the intellect of Bruce Banner, Maestro has survived wars, nuclear attacks and countless assassination attempts from all across time. Now he moves from one timeline to another, defeating any he deems a worthy foe and taking their prized weapons as personal trophies. With so few who could stand against him, Maestro has now set his sights on a much more grand scale. He aims to take over the Contest and prove he is the most powerful champion in all the universe.

Abilities[]

Neutronium – Max 40

  • Maestro gains 1 Neutronium per second, disabled during Superior Rage. He gains them 25% slower against Mystic Champions.
  • Second Medium Attacks grant Maestro 3 Neutronium.
  • After being knocked down, Maestro cannot gain Neutronium for 6 seconds. This cannot be triggered again for 8 seconds after it expires. If one of Maestro’s Buffs expires naturally, these durations are removed.
  • If one of Maestro’s Buffs expires naturally, he cannot gain Neutronium for 8 seconds.
  • Whenever Maestro is Immune to an effect or has a Buff Nullified, gain 3 Neutronium. This has a 5 second cooldown.

Dev Notes: This is Maestro’s bread and butter. His Rage is inevitable but prevent it as long as you can, or force him to end his own Buffs to slow his Neutronium build up as long as possible.

ISO-8 Buffs

  • ISO-8 Buffs cannot be affected by Ability Accuracy and last for 36 seconds.
  • At 10 Neutronium, gain a Glancing Buff causing all incoming Basic Attacks to have a 100% chance to Glance.
  • At 20 Neutronium, gain a Pierce Buff of X potency.

  • When Maestro would gain an ISO-8 Buff, retrigger all other ISO-8 Buffs from previous thresholds.

Dev Notes: Key to note that Maestro will only Glance basic hits while his Glancing is active. Make sure to keep a keen eye on which Buffs he’s got active at all times.

Superior Rage

  • At 40 Neutronium, Maestro enters Superior Rage and gains +X Attack Rating.

  • Maestro cannot gain Neutronium for 6 seconds after Superior Rage ends.

Weaknesses[]

  • Atrophy
